## Monitoring

You can set the Convar `ns_should_log_all_clientcommands` to `1` to log all client commands. This includes both benign things like the command a client sends to server to respawn after death but also nefarious, like a malicious client calling `emit`, a command that before being patched out allowed clients to spam voice lines to other clients.
